Visual Mashup Builder

HTML Block Widget

This is a useful widget that can be used to embed any HTML snippet in your page. It can also be used as a container for displaying results, for example the results of an SQL query. See the renderResultTable documentaion for an example.

Use the property forms to insert the HTML snippet. The CSS styles for the element can be setup via the styles property tab.

SCRIPT tags embedded within a HTML Block Widget are not evaluated currently. To insert SCRIPT tags, you can use the Javascript Script Block Widget.

Internally, the application uses the non-standard innerHTML property of a DOM Node to affix the HTML. In Internet Explorer, attaching a very large chunk of HTML using this method takes a while for the browser to parse the data (upto 0.5 seconds after attaching).
